It’s a super simple, small layout. About 40% done, got a long way to go. I think I enjoy doing the scenery most.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks again,</div><div><br></div><div>Mark</div><div><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div>On Aug 27, 2025, at 7:59 PM, NW Mailing List <nw-mailing-list@nwhs.org> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div><meta charset="UTF-8"><div class="elementToProof" style="font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">As a former Geologist, the rock work is stunning!
